I asked for health that I might do great things;
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy;
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of all;
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I got nothing for which I asked, but for everything for which I hoped.
I am, among all, most richly blessed.
